Of course, no matter what you do, you can't do without a money word.

Wang Yangming also understands this truth, even if Zhu Houzhao says that it is extravagant, it will cost money to run a school.

Therefore, Wang Yangming asked Zhu Houzhao: "The minister dares to ask Your Majesty, where did the money come from for the establishment of Beijing Normal University?" ”

"Money? Find your father! ”

Zhu Houzhao replied casually without thinking about it, although he is now the cabinet university scholar Jiao Fang's household department, but Zhu Houzhao has not yet clarified the specific authority of the cabinet and the six books, so it is still the household department that manages the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Yangming was speechless for a moment, so he had to reply: "Your Majesty is indeed the father of the minister, and it is the minister who asked Your Majesty, where will the money come from?" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that he would accidentally become the father of the saint Wang Yangming.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but say: "Your father is the head of the household, who are you looking for if you don't look for him?" ”

"Yes!"

Wang Yangming could only respond like this, he thought that Emperor Zhu Houzhao would go out of the interior to build a university, but he didn't expect that the emperor would ask for a household.

At this time, the court officials knew that after copying the house of the rebel party, Emperor Zhu Houzhao must have made a lot of money.

Therefore, they all want to take some money from the emperor to do some serious things, but there are also those who want to do some bad things to make money.

Wang Yangming is naturally no exception, and he also thinks that since the emperor is so rich now, and the emperor wants to build Beijing Normal University, you naturally have to pay for it.

But Wang Yangming didn't expect Emperor Zhu Houzhao to be so picky, and he still asked the household department to pay.

However, Wang Yangming cannot disobey Zhu Houzhao.

And Zhu Houzhao didn't say much, only let Wang Yangming retreat.

Zhu Houzhao is not really stingy, he is reluctant to pay for himself, he wants to change a way of giving money, and he directly pays the silver, which will lead to officials at all levels of the court in the future to ask for money from him, the emperor.

In that case, the emperor himself will not be the Son of Heaven but the God of Wealth!

There is no free lunch in the world, Zhu Houzhao wants to let the ministers understand this truth, if you want to govern the world, you have to pay the cost, you can't ask for your own emperor's money, you can only let the household department borrow it!

Moreover, borrowing is not for nothing, it is subject to interest.

After all, the stable operation of a court is not only to ensure the interests of its own royal family, but also to ensure the rich life of you rulers, but you can't always let the emperor lose money.

At all costs.

Wang Yangming still had to go to his father, that is, Wang Hua, the head of the household.

As soon as Wang Yangming came to Wang Hua, Wang Hua straightened his face and shouted solemnly: "Tell me about you!" It's also a person who has passed the age of standing, why is it still so unreasonable, the sacrificial wine of Beijing Normal University is a chicken rib, none of the officials in the court want to pick it up, and only you kid go to pick it up, since Your Majesty values you, let you enter the Hanlin Academy, and become a waiter, it can be said that the Son of Heaven is a close minister, you should keep a low profile, and you may be able to enter the cabinet in the future! Fight for our royal family, glorify our ancestors! ”

"The lord is angry, Wang Yun wants to be a good minister, not an official for the Wang family, but an official for the future Han family will not fall into the hands of foreign races, although Jingshi University is not Hanlin Qinggui, but it is the best place to study, and its significance is far from what the lord sees now, not Wang Yun is presumptuous, and the master's insight can only stop at Shangshuye!"

As soon as Wang Yangming said this, Wang Hua was so angry that he didn't hit him on the spot, but when he thought that this was the household department, not the family, he had to endure it, and said angrily: "You rebel, that is, the old man is your master, otherwise you would have been jealous of the powerful by virtue of your ignorance of human feelings!" I don't know how much Your Majesty values you! Say, what are you doing with me? ”

"Ask for money! Your Majesty's dictation, the money for the establishment of Beijing Normal University has to be paid by the Ministry of Households, since the master is the secretary of the Ministry of Households, the lower officials will naturally come to you! ”

Wang Yangming replied.

"No money! Now that the two taxes have not come up, the money for the house has been returned to the internal treasury, how can the household have money! ”

Wang Hua, the head of the household, replied without thinking about it.

"Okay, then the lower official will tell Your Majesty the truth!"

Wang Yangming turned around and walked away as he spoke.

Wang Hua was so angry when he saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "You come back!" ”

Wang Yangming pretended not to hear it, and still walked forward.

"You're back!"

Wang Hua was really afraid that Wang Yangming would answer Zhu Houzhao like this, which would make Emperor Zhu Houzhao unhappy and implicate the entire Wang family.

Therefore, Wang Hua hurriedly ran to stop Wang Yangming: "You really want to be angry with the old man!" Are you really going to tell the emperor directly, saying that the old man said that the household has no money? ”

"Don't say that, but still say that?"

Wang Yangming smiled secretly, turned around and asked pretending to be puzzled.

"What do you tell me to say about you, you go back first, and then I'll think of a way, the household really has no silver!"

Wang Hua replied.

"Great Situ! If there is no silver, there will be no silver, why worry so much, and Your Majesty to tell the truth, the lower officials believe that Your Majesty will not punish you, me, and the Wang family because of this, what are you afraid of, Your Majesty is not a faint king, above the court today, you should also see that Your Majesty wants to work hard, it is impossible not to know the difficulties of the household department, and how to do great things with too much caution! Farewell to the lower officials! ”

Wang Yangming said and left.

Wang Hua couldn't help jumping up because of this, and shouted: "The old man doesn't need you to teach the old man how to be an official!" ”

Wang Yangming had to go to Zhu Houzhao again.

At this time, the matter of organizing the examination for the selection of civil officials of the Central Committee was also officially carried out.

The departments also successively informed the Ministry of Officials of the vacancies, and then counted them by the Ministry of Officials, and informed them to the prefectures and counties of the various political departments and the sub-supervisors of the northern and southern countries, ordering those who are interested in serving the country to enter Beijing as alternate officials of various departments, which is equivalent to civil servants in later generations.

Then, according to the situation of each ministry, the Ministry of Officials will promote or transfer the incumbent officials, as well as the appointment and dismissal of alternate officials.

Of course, high-grade officials still need to be pushed or discussed.

……

At this time, Yan Song, who was recuperating at home, also learned the news from the prefect.

Yan Song was originally the editor of the Hanlin Academy, but in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, he had to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate.

Now, he has already recovered from a serious illness, but recently there have been treacherous and turbulent changes in the court, and he can't find a way to reinstate.

Now seeing that the imperial court was going to directly select officials through the examination, he immediately ran to his home happily and said to his wife Ouyang: "Madam, I want to tell you a good thing!" ”

……

After a lot of clouds and rain.

"Husband, you were so powerful just now"

"Joke, your husband is at the age of a dragon and a tiger, and now that he has recovered from a serious illness, it is naturally not like before"

"Husband, then don't you go to Beijing, okay, and stay with the concubine for a few more days."

"Madam, husband, I entered Beijing to do big things, it is impossible not to go, I thought that the imperial court was going to enter the era of eunuch dictatorship, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, the new emperor seems to be quite skilled and determined to innovate, I feel that the era of Yan Song is coming!"

"That husband, would it be good for you to take me into Beijing, lest you be alone in the capital at that time! Go find the woman outside! ”

"Madam, I entered Beijing to do great things, how can I ask about Fengyue now."

"You don't ask now, but do you promise that you didn't have it in the capital before?"

"No, really not!"

"That's what will happen later!"

"Madam, I really won't, can you be reasonable"

"I even said that I was unreasonable, you definitely don't love me anymore!"

"I said that I only loved you for the rest of my life, how could I not love you"

"Then since you love me, why don't you take me into Beijing, it can be seen that you don't love me anymore"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you to Beijing, okay."

"That's right, husband, let's do it again, the slave family wants to give you a baby."

"Madame, no! I'm really tired of being a husband! ”

"Madame, no!"
